Background

Jeffrey Prager is a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in private practice. His office is located in Beverly Hills. He works with late adolescents and adults, and has worked especially with those involved in various creative pursuits--in academia, theater, film, television, creative writing and art practice. He received his Ph.D. in Psychoanalysis in 1983 from the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute, now the New Center of Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. He is registered with the California Medical Board as a Research Psychoanalyst, RP-48.

Dr. Prager, formerly the Dean, is now a Senior Faculty Member at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. He is an active member of the American Psychoanalytic Association and a Co-Chair of the Committee of Psychoanalysis and the Academy. He is now the North American Co-Chair of the Psychoanalysis and the Academy Committee of the International Psychoanalytic Association. He has published widely, both books and articles, on psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice, including his award-winning Presenting the Past, Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Misremembering (Harvard University Press).

Jeffrey Prager is also Professor of Sociology at UCLA, having received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1978. He has been a member of the UCLA Faculty since 1977, where he is the recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award and several other academic honors. He teaches courses in Classical and Contemporary Social Theory for both undergraduates and graduates, and has published extensively in Historical and Comparative Sociology, Social Theory, Psychoanalytic Sociology and American Racism. At the New Center for Psychoanalysis, he teaches both in the Psychoanalytic Training Program and in the Program in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
